The problem Ethoslink solves

EthosLink is a multifaceted Social Token Engagement platform designed to empower creators, influencers, and projects to mint their own distinctive social tokens. These tokens play a dual role by enabling effective crowdfunding and enhancing fan engagement. Through EthosLink, creators can launch crowdfunding campaigns for their projects while offering token holders exclusive benefits such as gated website access, revenue-sharing possibilities, and other personalized advantages. What sets EthosLink apart is its unique feature of allowing token minting in different editions, granting creators the flexibility to tailor benefits based on each edition's unique offerings. The platform also boasts a dedicated marketplace where social tokens can be traded, allowing holders to sell their tokens at self-determined prices, with creators earning royalties from trades. Additionally, EthosLink introduces an attestation service, offering users the ability to express trust in creators, projects, and the value associated with social tokens. These three levels of attestation collectively cultivate deeper connections between creators and their fans, fostering transparency, credibility, and community involvement. In essence, EthosLink establishes a comprehensive ecosystem that empowers creators to leverage social tokens for effective fundraising, enhanced fan engagement, and increased value, while simultaneously facilitating transparent communication and fostering stronger relationships with supporters.

Challenges we ran into

We encountered some difficulties while implementing the take-gated platform. However, we were able to overcome these challenges. We also considered a feature that would allow every creator to create a DAO. However, we encountered a problem with this because we had to deploy a contract every time a DAO was created. Additionally, one of the issues with our product was that anyone could create a fake profile or multiple accounts. However, we were able to resolve this issue by using Worldcoin and EAS services. With these services, users can attest to the authenticity of a creator. Once a creator has received a certain number of attestations, we can provide them with a verification mark.
